Comment: I take 40 mg, only at night. It has made my spinal injury, fibromyalgia and TMJ much easier to live with. The muscle tightness is gone and I sleep much better. I function fine in the day, except for the one time I took 1 tablet in the daytime. I was not safe driving and my husband took over after 2 blocks. Baclofen has greatly improved my life.

Comment: Since taking baclofen I have noticed a major change in my muscle tightness. Although I suffer from a few sight effects including tiredness and naseau. They are not as bad as me not being on this drug. I take 10 mg. a day, three times a day. I'm not bother by this because of the result of the baclofen. I recommend baclofen to anyone with muscle admoralities because it really can help.

Comment: I have a chronic muscular/spinal cord injury in my neck. The muscles get so tense that I have severe migraines and the muscles rip or tear if I turn my head to far. I started taking a 20mg Baclofen 3 times a day and found it was the only thing that would loosen the muscles enough for me to get comfortable. The only real negative thing that I found is that my eye movements are slightly off or slow.

Comment:I have a chronic muscular/spinal cord injury in my neck. The muscles get so tense that I have severe migraines and the muscles rip or tear if I turn my head to far. I started taking a 20mg Baclofen 3 times a day and found it was the only thing that would loosen the muscles enough for me to get comfortable. The only real negative thing that I found is that my eye movements are slightly off or slow. When driving for instance sometimes the road would skip or jet forward for a second instead of coming towards me. They just couldn't keep up while watching the road. I can't 100% blame the Baclofen since I also take Tramadol and Clonazepam for the pain and muscle stiffness. If I only take Baclofen that day my eyes are fine, or if I take the other two my eyes are fine so maybe it was the combination of to many meds that tend to slow you down. Otherwise Baclofen has been quite the life saver! It gave me the ability to enjoy life easier since I wasn't in so much pain.Hide Full Comment

Comment: I have fibromyalgia and get strong muscle spasms as a result of it sometimes, so the doctor prescribed me baclofen to take when needed. I find they help. When I first started taking them, I found myself sweating more and I had a dry mouth, but other than that, no side-effects. The 2 side-effects I did have no longer bother me when I take this medicine.
